As we approach the start of BPS 2017 window we understand that applications will be available to submit in early March. Paper applications will only be made available to those who do not use an agent or who applied on paper last year. The Rural Payments Agency are actively encouraging farmers who did not apply online last year to register with them and apply for the 2017 BPS on line. If you have not yet registered with the Rural Payments Agency and you require further assistance with your 2017 application then please contact either Adam Barrass or Pat Cotterill.
